WOW

The views were incredible!!! The home was perfect for us and we really enjoyed our stay! I wanted to see a moose more than anything and on our last day there, there was one outside our cabin. I was like a kid in a candy store. Beautiful animal. Thank you. I’ll be telling family and friends about your home!

Wonderful long weekend getaway

We had a wonderful time for a long weekend getaway for my daughters birthday. The house was great had everything we needed. House says it sleeps 8, but I would say comfortably only 6. You definitely need to follow provided directions and in the winter need to have vehicles that can handle snow and ice. Overall it was a great location and lovely views.

Amazing place.

Amazing place I can’t even describe how perfect it was. I looked at hundreds of places and ended up booking this one and it was the right choice. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway that’s private this is what you’re looking for. The owner was very friendly and helpful as well, just an all around great experience.

Breathtaking views!!

We stayed at Lisa's cabin for the Labor day weekend and we were truly amazed by the views and all the surrounding area, on our way there we saw moose, the kiddos were so excited! It is completely secluded were you are just surrounded by nature and all it's beauty. The cabin has all the essentials you need, beds are super comfy, kitchen has everything you might need to prepare your meals, grill was in perfect working condition and the hot tub was the icing on the cake! Do plan on bringing all your food, beverages and lots of water as mentioned previously they are on a well system. Thank you Lisa for an amazing stay!

It was okay.

The location is great, we were able to see quite a few moose! Unfortunately, we went grocery shopping before going to the house and we’re very disappointed to see that the grill is unusable and a fire hazard at best. I was nervous about the hot tub after reading other reviews, but it was sparkling clean and crystal clear when we opened it up. I don’t know if it was an issue with the listing itself or the VRBO app but we were unable to open the driving directions. We reached out to Lisa to ask for the house number as we were literally standing on the side of the road after attempting to get into 3 wrong houses. Lisa declined to give us the house number and told us to follow the step by step directions. I let her know that the directions weren’t available so she asked that we text her and provided her phone number and then left our messages on read. We then tried to call her and she was extremely rude when she answered because we apparently interrupted a conference call that she was on and she still did not give us the house number that we were requesting. Once we were finally able to access the driving directions on the VRBO mobile site, we found the house number and located the house with no problem. She later texted us back with a link to Apple Maps which still did not include the actual house number. The communication while just trying to check in was extremely concerning. Also, some of the pictures show the house as a lighter brown and only one image shows a darker brown. The house has been painted and is a darker brown color. We attempted to get into 3 lighter color homes before we finally got the address and made it to the right destination.

Double booked

We spent 2 hours at the property. It was double booked. Other guests were already staying there. Our kids had been looking forward to this ski vacation for 5 weeks. We received a refund when we reached the owner after 2 hours. Thank you for that. An apology would have been nice. Our vacation was ruined. We could not be rebooked into comparable accommodations. We returned home. Vacation over. Ski Trip ruined. We booked 5 weeks in advance. If you are going to list on multiple sites, it's the owner's responsibility to do a cross check of calendars or pay for a service that will.

We enjoyed our stay in Alpenglow.

The property is tucked back in FairPlay off the beaten path. It does offer beautiful views. About 35 min drive to Breckinridge. Everything worked as expected. 3 bedrooms with 3 beds. WiFi was adequate considering the remote location. I recommend washing all utensils and cooking supplies etc.. before using . Hard water leaves a film. Property does have everything you need to prepare a meal. Kitchen has most of condiments and spices left from owner and previous renters. Plenty of firewood in the garage. Must have 4wd. Hot tub clean, private and gets to 104 degrees perfect for us snowboarders. Great stay overall especially during Covid. There were some full trash bags left from previous renter in the garage and we couldn’t find any empty trash bags so we picked some up, not a issue. Good communication and easy check in/out.

January 1st 2021 To whom it may concern: I just want to share our experience we had this Christmas. I will start with the cooking utensil that I had to clean each time before we used them because they were covered in a film. The pictures were deceiving .my boys were so excited to look through the telescope and see the stars. The pictures also showed a well working grill that was a hazard to use. This grill was completely rusted out and not functionable. We had to drive to Silverhorne to get a the grill because everything was closed ($75). We had to go buy toilet paper the 2nd day we were there for both bathrooms. I felt like we were staying at our college buddy’s house in college. There was used Shampoo and Conditioners that was left in the showers. We had to really pay attention to grab our shampoo. I contacted the owner in early December to make sure there would be a Christmas tree for my boys when we arrive. NO CHRISTMAS TREE OR ANY LIGHTS….DECORATION???? There were many other houses that had light on at night to make child feel special. Light bulb through the house were broken or not functionable. We had to use flashlights to navigate parts of the house after dark. . (master bedroom, ****garage) We have stayed in cabins for our family tradition each Christmas and have never had to ask for decoration. DERRICK FAMILY

the perfect getaway

My family and I loved staying here. It was the perfect peaceful weekend getaway for myself and my siblings. My sister hated the dirt road leading up to the house but if you take it slow and enjoy the scenery you’ll be fine. It’s worth the drive to be up in the mountains with the beautiful views. We hopefully plan on making this a yearly visit.

Very Relaxing and Quiet Time In the Mountains

We had a very pleasant time during our stay at the house. Check-in was a breeze and the house had all the amenities we would need for our stay. Hot tub was clean and very hot- we loved using it at night. Neighbors are far apart and keep to themselves, but always give a friendly wave as you pass. Wildlife was abundant too- we saw many chipmunks, and the neighborhood moose. Make sure you don't leave any little pieces of food on the balcony because the birds will swarm the area, even while you eat. We didn't have any problems with the property and look forward to our next trip there.

Great Place To Stay!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is well maintained and perfect for up to 6 people (3 couples). The sunrises in the morning were so amazing and the stars in the nighttime sky were incredible. The owner was helpful and reachable although if you need a quick answer to a question you might need to call. I’m sure she has other responsibilities and she never did not respond. The house is 15 minutes off the main road and the road to the house is dirt and gravel with a lot of holes and ruts. We were very happy we decided to rent a Jeep even during the summer. We would definitely return to this place!

Beautiful location and gorgeous views. Perfect if you want to get away, hunker down, and stay home.

We came here during spring break and COVID-19 pandemic. Since the slopes closed, we stayed put for the week. It was an ideal location for isolation! We brought all the food we needed and spent our time snow shoeing, sledding, and hot tubbing. Under normal circumstances, it would have been a little too far from the slopes for daily skiing. However, if you want to get away and just spend time together, this is a great place. We were not prepared for the elevation and got pretty sick, so take that seriously! Snow was deep, and we got over a foot of new snow, so lots of gear and snow shoes were a must. There was no wood for the fireplace, and deck was covered in ice and snow when we arrived. It would have been nice to spend more time out there on the warm, sunny days. House is well-equipped for everything, beds very comfortable, laundry convenient, hot tub great, and views amazing!
